Why is it that on valve's survey report, it says "Hyper Threadding: not supported"? Is there a way to unlock the HT function on my P4? How do I know if it enabled or not?
well if you have XP (home or pro) or 2000. You CTRL+ALT+DEL
You should see 2 line graphs for each cpu (1 physical 1 logical)
But make sure you hit VIEW> CPU History> and check ONE GRAPH PER CPU
If you think you have HT, but it is not enabled..... Go look for the hyperthreading settings in the BIOS and enable it if possible. If it is grayed out, your cpu is most likely not compatible.
You will 2 graphs right next to each other in the CPU usage column if you have HT (like the pic below)
You can use this utility to identify if your processor and other hardware are HT ready.
I can't believe it... I got fooled... Intel always advertised about their HT technology on their P4 computers ever since 1.2GHZ computers came out... I can't believe my 2.4 GHZ doesn't -_-" This just pissed me right off. Not only that, the bios they gave me never included the "Hyper threading" technology function at all. The entire selection never showed up!!
The BIOS could of, it is just that you cant see it, my old Asus board had the HT setting invisible. It only popped up and was visable when I threw in an HT compatible p4.
